I am on my way out this game otherwise I would invest in the newer stuff. I still don't think I would go powered speakers though, maybe it is because I have the Electronics background and for the most part know how to build, hook up and match stuff. I am either going to do it right or not all all. The day that I find what I am doing is strenuous, I will quit. This is why I have everything mobile on wheels and rarely have to lift anything except my DJ Station about 115lbs without the Case Cover. Manufacturers today are capitalizing on the fact that all the young ones are in competition with each other to see who has the latest and greatest so they are coming out with new features and gadgets all the time.
